PER CURIAM:
John Mock appeals from the district court’s order dismissing
sua sponte his 28 U.S.C.A. § 2254 (West 1994 & Supp. 2001) petition
as untimely. We have reviewed the record and the district court’s
opinion and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we deny a
certificate of appealability and dismiss the appeal on the
reasoning of the district court. See Mock v. North Carolina, No.
CA-01-786-5 (E.D.N.C. Nov. 1, 2001). We dispense with oral argument
because the facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in
the materials before the court and argument would not aid the
decisional process.
DISMISSED
